Curiosity is highly encouraged at MAGNA-TILES! Here are a few of the questions we get the most along with our team’s best answers. If you don’t see what’s on your mind
Putting Safety First
The MAGNA-TILES stamp on every tile reflects our promise to provide safe, high-quality magnetic shapes. Don’t settle for imitations.
Are MAGNA-TILES sets safe for my child or classroom?
Yep! All MAGNA-TILES products comply with U.S., E.U., and other international safety regulations, and they exceed all requirements for testing and product safety. This includes rigorous durability, material quality, and heavy elements testing to ensure all MAGNA-TILES products are safe and can stand up to years of use. In our company’s 25+ year history, we have never had a product recall. To ensure the safest play, active adult supervision is recommended – especially for young children who may put tiles or blocks into their mouths. We encourage parents to check their MAGNA-TILES pieces (and any other toys) regularly for loose or broken parts. Again, if tiles are found to be damaged, please contact us. Note: In the event any magnet is inhaled or ingested, medical treatment should be sought immediately. Call 9-1-1 as soon as possible if your child inhales or swallows any magnet at any time.
What are MAGNA-TILES pieces made of?
All MAGNA-TILES are made with food-grade MABS plastic that’s:
- BPA-free
- Phthalate-free
- Latex-free
- Non-toxic
We’ve used the same premium material since 1997 to ensure long-lasting safety, durability, and those bright, glossy colors kids love.
What types of magnets are inside MAGNA-TILES?
MAGNA-TILES are built using high-quality ceramic (ferrite) magnets, which are:
- Strong
- Durable
- Resistant to corrosion and demagnetization
⚠️ Note: Exposure to temperatures above 480°F can reduce magnetic strength. While rare, it’s something to be aware of.
Are MAGNA-TILES CPSIA compliant?
Absolutely. MAGNA-TILES products are fully compliant with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), including regulations for lead and other materials.
We’re committed to meeting, and exceeding, all current and future safety standards so parents and educators can choose MAGNA-TILES with confidence.
